Creating a Sales Order

You can only add opening numbers using the Maintain Openings feature on a new sales order. If your sales order has been saved, Delete the sales order and Create a New Sales Order. If the sales order contains more than 6 openings, we recommend creating a project.

Adding Opening Numbers Using Maintain Openings

Only use the Maintain Openings function to assign opening numbers if all the line items require an opening number. The Maintain Openings function requires you to assign each product line item to an opening before saving. If only select line items require assignment, Add Opening Numbers Using Notes.
